FOREWORD 


This  number  of  the  Kearney  State  Normal  School 
Bulletin  is  in  the  interest  of  library  work  for  the  elemen- 
tary schools,  especially  for  Rural  Schools.    It  has  been 
X^        prepared  by  our  librarian,  Miss  Anna  V.  Jennings,  as- 
"\         sisted  by  Miss  Ethol  M.  Langdon,  Assistant  Librarian, 
and  the  Departments  of  Rural  Education,  Music,  and  Art. 
We  trust  that  it  may  render  helpful  service. 

A  copy  is  in  the  office  of  each  County  Superintend- 
ent of  the  State.    A  copy  may  be  had  free  by  writing  for 
•V        it. 

^  GEORGE  S.  DICK,  President. 


INTRODUCTION 


The  object  of  this  bulletin  is  to  give  the  rural  teacher 
some  help  in  the  selection  and  care  of  a  school  library, 
and  also  to  give  sources  where  information  and  material 
on  various  school  activities  may  be  secured.  There  has 
been  no  attempt  at  completeness  in  any  of  the  work.  As 
there  is  no  published  standard  for  the  rural  school  library 
in  Nebraska,  a  suggested  list  of  books  has  been  given, 
with  the  simplest  plan  possible  for  the  organization  and 
care  of  the  library.  The  scheme,  if  adopted,  will  not  in- 
terfere with  classification  later.  Without  some  instruc- 
tion in  library  science,  it  is  impossible  to  classify  and  cat- 
alog the  books.  Until  the  library  has  reached  500  vol- 
umes, no  difficulty  will  be  found  in  the  arrangement  sug- 
gested. Grateful  acknowledgment  is  made  for  ideas  in 
the  publications  from  the  departments  of  education  in 
Minnesota,  Wisconsin  and  Idaho,  and  for  valuable  sug- 
gestions from  the  State  Department  of  Education  of  Ne- 
braska, and  also  from  the  Rural  Department  of  the 
Kearney  State  Normal  School.  The  material  on  music  is 
furnished  by  Mrs.  Grace  E.  Steadman,  Supervisor  of 
Music,  Kearney  State  Normal  School;  the  picture  list  by 
Miss  Marion  Smith,  head  of  the  Art  Department  of  the 
Kearney  State  Normal  School.

School  Library  Law 

Revised  Statutes  1913 


Chapter  71. — Article  5.— 

Sec.  96. — School  District  Library. — The  school  board 
or  school  trustees  of  every  school  district  within  this 
state  may,  at  its  discretion,  set  aside  annually  from  the 
general  funds  collected  for  the  use  of  the  district  the 
sum  of  ten  cents  per  pupil  as  shown  by  the  total  number 
of  pupils  within  the  school  district  at  the  last  annual 
school  census.  The  amount  so  set  aside  shall  be  known 
as  the  district  library  funds  and  shall  be,  by  the  school 
board  or  school  trustees  of  such  district,  annually  in- 
vested in  books  other  than  the  regular  text-books,  which 
books  so  provided  shall  be  suitable  for  the  district  school 
library. 

Sec.  97. — Same — Care — Rules. — The  school  boards*or 
school  trustees  shall  provide  for  the  care  of  such  library 
at  the  school-house  and  shall  prescribe  the  rules  and 
regulations  under  which  it  shall  be  used  by  the  district. 

Sec.  98. — Support  of  School  Library. — By  direction 
of  the  school  board  or  board  of  trustees  of  any  school  dis- 
trict in  which  a  free  public  library  is  maintained  and  to 
the  support  and  extension  of  which  a  sum  of  not  less  than 
three  hundred  dollars  is  expended  annually,  the  two 
next  preceding  sections  shall  be  inoperative. 


Selection  of  Books 

The  library  is  rapidly  becoming  an  important  part 
in  the  equipment  of  every  standard  public  school.  Every 
rural  school  should  plan  to  spend  at  least  $25  a  year  for 
keeping  up  the  library. 

The  rural  school  library  is  primarily  for  the  children 
and  the  first  purchases  after  a  dictionary,  and  World  Al- 
manac, should  be  for  them,  beginning  with  the  primary. 
Cyclopaedias  are  not  as  essential  as  separate  books  on 
particular  subjects.  When  buying  a  cyclopaedia,  see 
that  it  is  up-to-date.  Champlin's  cyclopaedia  is  best 
adapted  to  the  needs  of  the  average  rural  school. 

Select  good  editions. — Avoid  poorly  printed  and 
paper  bound  books,  and  books  in  sets.  It  is  better  to  buy 
a  few  books  by  several  authors,  than  a  complete  set  by 
one  author.  Quality  and  not  number  makes  the  library 
valuable.  Make  no  effort  to  buy  current  fiction.  Do 
not  buy  subscription  books  or  whole  libraries  from  travel- 
ing agents.  If  you  need  assistance  in  choosing  books, 
consult  your  County  Superintendent,  the  State  Depart- 
ment of  Public  Instruction,  or  the  Library  Commission  at 
Lincoln.  The  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Education,  Washington, 
D.  C.,  will  also  give  suggestions  on  request.  Marion  Hum- 
ble 's  "Children's  books  recommended  for  first  pur- 
chase," Wisconsin  Library  Commission,  Madison,  Wis., 
25c  is  a  valuable  aid. 

In  the  suggested  list,  it  will  be  necessary  to  select,  to 
meet  the  needs  of  the  school.  There  should  be  at  least 
six  books  for  each  grade,  aside  from  the  supplementary 
texts  which  should  be  supplied  as  text-books,  beginning 
with  the  lower  grades.  Additional  helps  in  history,  geo- 
graphy and  nature  study  should  be  in  the  first  order. 

Books  for  neighborhood  use  should  be  the  last  to  be 
considered,  as  the  public  library  in  the  nearest  town  will 
furnish  these.  A  traveling  library  may  be  secured  from

will  supplement  the  school  library. 

Kvery  library  should  contain  material  on  "how  to 
teach"  that  will  supplement  the  teacher's  private  collec- 
tion. 


HOW  TO  ORDER 

All  publishing  houses  give  a  good  discount  on  Li- 
brary orders.  Usually  it  is  cheaper  to  pay  freight  than  to 
buy  through  the  local  dealer.  A.  C.  McClurg  and  Co.. 
Chicago,  and  the  St.  Paul  Book  and  Stationery  Co.,  St. 
Paul,  Minn.,  are  reliable  firms. 

0.  G.  Waffle,  Marion,  Iowa  and  The  H.  R.  Huntthig 
Co.,  Springfield,  Mass.,  make  a  specialty  of  standard  re- 
ference and  general  library  books. 

In  ordering,  mention  publisher  and  price  of  books 

in  order  to  get  the  right  edition.

PREPARATION  OF  BOOK 

Check  the  bill  with  the  order — then  check  bill  with 
books,  and  write  the  date,  of  whom  bought,  and  price  on 
first  page  after  title  page  on  the  inside  margin,  e.  g:  7 
My  '16  Me  4.00  2v.  or,  7  My  '16  Me  .27. 

Stamp  each  book  in  the  middle  of  inside  front  cover. 
If  writing  cannot  be  read  on  the  cover,  paste  a  sheet  of 
white  paper  on  the  inside  of  the  front  cover  and  stamp, 
or  use  the  margin  of  the  title  page.

Book  No.  . 


Open  the  books  and  arrange  those  on  the  same  sub- 
ject together  on  the  shelf. 


SHELVING 


Have  open  shelves  if  possible,  with  all  books  in  view 
and  within  reach.  Shelving  should  be  built  around  the 
walls  and  under  the  windows.  Shelves  should  be  eight 
inches  deep  and  not  more  than  thirty-six  inches  wide, 
with  ten  inches  space  between  and  a  twelve  inch  space 
for  the  bottom  shelf  to  allow  for  large  books. 

If  books  must  be  kept  in  a  cupboard,  secure  one  with 
glass  doors.  A  table  for  the  use  of  dictionary,  cyclopaed- 
ias and  magazines  would  be  useful;  if  this  cannot  be  se- 
cured, have  the  top  shelf  of  the  case  under  the  window 
made  9  inches  deep  for  this  purpose.

QUARTERLY   BULLETIN   OP 


CARE  OF  BOOKS 

The  life  of  a  book  may  be  prolonged  by  teaching  the 
children  to  respect  its  physical  side  and  to  observe  the 
following  directions: 

How  to  open  books.  Lay  the  book,  back  downward, 
on  a  table  or  smooth  surface.  Press  the  front  cover 
down  until  it  touches  the  table,  then  the  back  cover,  hold- 
ing the  leaves  in  one  hand  while  you  open  a  few  at  the 
back,  then  at  the  front,  alternately,  pressing  them  down 
gently  until  you  reach  the  center  of  the  volume.  Never 
open  the  book  violently  nor  bend  back  the  covers;  it  is 
liable  to  break  the  back  and  to  loosen  the  leaves. 

Never  mark  a  libr&ryvbdok.. 

Do  not  use  a  thick  book  mark. 

Do  not  turn  down  the  corners  of  the  book. 

Never  handle  with  soiled  or  moist  hands. 

Do  not  lay  a  book  face  downward,  or  place  one  book 
on  top  of  another  when  they  are  open. 

Keep  books  upright  on  the  shelves  and  do  not  crowd 
them.  If  a  book  is  too  large  to  stand  upright,  lay  it 
on  its  side 

Book  supports  may  be  secured  from  the  Library 
Bureau,  Chicago,  111.,  at  ten  cents  each,  or  ordinary 
bricks  may  be  covered  with  paper  and  used. 

Teach  the  children  to  mend  the  tears  in  pages,  and  to 
fasten  loose  illustrations  and  pages.  Never  use  needle 
and  thread. 

£ee  that  all  books  are  repaired  after  they  have  been 
loaned  before  they  are  returned  to  the  shelves.  Sawyer, 
"How  to  care  for  books  in  a  library"  may  be  secured 
from  the  Democrat  Printing  Co.,  Madison,  Wis.  Price 
lOc. 

Never  use  mucilage  or  glue.  Homemade  flour  paste 
or  library  paste  should  be  used.  Mending  materials  may 

(14) 


THE   KEARNEY   STATE   NORMAL   SCHOOL 


be  secured  from  Gaylord  Brothers,  Syracuse,  New  York, 
or  Democrat  Printing  Co.,  Madison,  Wis.  Send  for  cata- 
logs. 

If  a  book  which  costs  more  than  75  cents  comes  out 
of  the  cover,  it  will  pay  to  have  it  rebound.  Waldorf 
Bindery  Co.,  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  does  satisfactory  binding. 

RECORDS 

(See  Form  for  Accession  Book  on  Page  16) 

The  accession  record  is  a  chronological  list  of  the 
books  added  to  the  library  and  is  the  most  important  rec- 
ord for  the  school. 

The  most  important  items  are  the  author's  name, 
title,  publisher,  year  and  price.  • 

Enter  all  books  in  the  accession  book,  one  volume  to 
the  line  and  assign  to  each  a  number  taken  .from  the  num- 
ber of  the  line  on  which  it  is  entered.  This  is  the  acces- 
sion number  of  the  15ook  which  should  be  written  on  the 
first  right  hand  page  following  the  title,  and  on  the 
stamped  book  plate  inside  the  front  cover. 

Enter  only  one  book  to  the  line,  whether  a  single 
book  or  a  volume  in  a  set. 

Do  not  use  an  accession  number  a  second  time.  If 
the  book  is  lost  or  withdrawn,  make  a  note  in  the  remarks 
column. 

Do  not  accession  books  in  bad  condition,  or  unbound 
pamphlets. 

An  accession  book  for  1000  volumes  may  be  secured 
from  the  Demqcrat  Printing  Co.,  Madison,  Wis.,  for  $1.00. 

BORROWER'S  RECORD 

(See  Form  for  Borrower's  Record  on  Page  16) 

A  boiTower's  record  for  each  pupil  of  all  books  used, 
including  library  and  text-books,  may  be  kept.  If  a 
loose  leaf  record  is  desired,  take  heavy  manila  paper  6x9 
using  a  sheet  for  each  pupil.  Punch  the  upper  end  of 
sheet  and  fasten  complete  file  with  note-book  rings.  An 
ordinary  note  book  or  ledger  may  be  used. 

Rule  each  page  or  sheet  and  write  in  the  items .

USE  OF  THE  LIBRARY 

Every  child  should  be  taught  the  physical  make-up 
of  the  book  and  should  know  the  use  of  title  pages,  pre- 
face, contents  and  index.  Suggestions  for  teaching  the 
use  of  the  dictionary  are  given  in  the  Dictionary  leaflets 
(free)  from  Merriam  Co.,  Springfield,  Mass.  Aside  from 
the  required  supplementary  reading,  each  child  should 
become  interested  in  general  reading.  The  teacher  must 
know  the  books  before  she  can  arouse  interest  in  the 
library.  Encourage  the  children  to  keep  a  personal  record 
of  the  books  read  during  the  year,  supervise  the  selec- 
tion, and  set  aside  a  library  hour  for  book  reports.  These 
reports  will  serve  to  increase  the  pleasure  in  reading,  and 
will  teach  the  children  how  to  read  intelligently.

THE   KEARNEY   STATE   NORMAL  SCHOOL 


MUSIC 

Music  is  quite  as  important  for  the  rural  child  as  for 
his  city  cousin,  and  in  the  near  future  it  will  be  a  re- 
quired subject  in  every  school.  Sight  singing  is  easily 
taught  and  the  note  picture  becomes  an  interesting  song 
story.  Coupled  with  the  regular  sight  reading  is  the 
idea  of  music  appreciation,  taught  by  means  of  the  talk- 
ing machine.  Culture  comes  from  understanding  and 
knowing  as  well  as  doing.  The  records  of  great  orches- 
tras, operas,  oratorios  and  singers  open  up  a  new  world 
to  the  average  child,  and  the  addition  of  a  few  records 
each  year  is  now  a  necessity  in  every  up-to-date  school. 
The  best  machine  is  the  Victrola,  adapted  for  school  and 
outdoor  exercises,  having  a  large  horn.  It  costs  $67.50,  but 
a  fair  machine  may  be  secured  for  $25. 

The  first  list  of  records  should  contain  those  which 
present  the  four  principles  of  music; — nationality,  poetic 
thought,  musical  form  and  story  telling.  (Program 
music).  One  record  each  day,  carefully  explained  by  the 
teacher,  will  cultivate  a  taste  and  love  for  the  best  music. 
Eecords  of  national  and  folk  songs  will  give  an  added  in- 
terest to  geography  and  history. 

Music  is  one  of  the  great  social  forces  in  rural  com- 
munity life.  Real  community  music  means  participation 
by  everyone.  Boys  and  girls  singing  .with  their  fathers 
and  mothers  will  establish  a  common  bond  and  lessen  the 
lure  of  city  life. 

The  music  of  the  civil  war  period  includes  many 
beautiful  songs  which  are  now  classed  as  American  folk 
'songs.  Some  of  these  are  "Old  Folks  at  Home,"  "Old 
Black  Joe,"  and  "Kentucky  Home." 

Our  patriotic  songs  should  mean  more  to  us  than 
mere  singable  melodies.  Their  words  must  be  thor- 
oughly learned  and  their  stories  made  familiar. 

The  backbone  of  any  rural  community  is  its  social 
life.  Music  is  the  most  social  of  all  the  arts  and  promotes 
friendliness  and  co-operation.  At  these  evening  "sings" 
the  records  which  the  children  have  studied  may  be  used 
for  the  adults  with  pleasure  and  profit.  A  system  may

machines  may  exchange  records.  The  following  lists

PICTURES 

No  school  library  is  complete  without  a  collection  of 
pictures,  neither  is  a  school  room  well  furnished  without 
one  or  two  well  selected  and  well  framed  pictures.  Avoid 
covering  the  walls  with  calendars  or  small  prints. ' 

Pictures  are  invaluable  for  illustrative  work  not  only 
in  picture  study,  but  in  geography,  history,  language  and 
nature  study.  Such  pictures  may  be  clipped  from  mag- 
azines, railroad  guides  and  real  estate  advertising.  The 
Perry  Pictures  Co.  and  the  Elson  Picture  Co.,  have  very 
inexpensive  prints ;  write  for  a  catalog. 

Pictures  should  be  classified  according  to  subject 
and  arranged  in  large  manila  folders  or  envelopes. 
Mounted  pictures  are  more  easily  used  and  more  service- 
able. Heavy  manila  paper  or  a  card  board  (gray  or  light 
brown)  11  by  14  inches,  or  some  uniform  size,  is  most 
convenient.  Do  not  cover  the  back  of  the  picture  with

paste,  simply  tip  *the  four  corners  and  place  under  a 
weight  until  dry. 

An  added  interest  in  pictures  may  be  obtained 
through  a  picture  exhibit.  Write  the  Lincoln  Fine  Arts 
Shop,  Lincoln,  Nebr.,  for  information.
